About Boone County Fair
The Boone County Fair in Madison celebrates a southern West Virginia coal county along the Coal River where underground mining defined a century of community life — Boone County produced some of the richest bituminous coal seams in Appalachia, and the mining heritage, labor union traditions, and tight-knit mining communities define the character of this Coal River valley fair.
What to Expect
Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, local food vendors with authentic southern WV cooking, live mountain music, and a fair drawing from the Coal River valley communities.
